Chapter 650: The Golden Union's President? The Final Conclusion!
Chapter 650: The Golden Union's President? The Final Conclusion!
No one expected that a mere business exchange from Cherry Land would bring together two of the top-tier beings on this planet.
An encounter between two Legend-tier individuals was almost always a public affair or took place amidst the stars.
Previously, no one would have thought that such a situation would arise during a business exchange.
It seemed utterly impossible.
Even Su Ping thought so.
However, after sorting through the sequence of events, Su Ping suddenly felt that it was a matter of course.
First, the power of Legend-tier beings had already surpassed this planet. Their speed meant that they could appear in any corner of Blue Star in no time, provided there were no special restrictions.
As for this business exchange, the Golden Patriarch was naturally more aware of the situation than anyone else.
The establishment of Golden Heart's branches in the Eastern Continent, the future of Ten Thousand Islands, the Dragon Kingdom, the Bear Kingdom, the Elephant Kingdom, countless smaller nations, and even the Beast Empire, all revolved around this central location.
The value and significance were immense, and Golden Heart was well aware of it.
With such a significant matter at hand, how could he completely trust it to a subordinate?
Especially after the attack two days ago, the possibility of the Golden Patriarch secretly keeping an eye on things was not low!
As for Su Ping, there was even less need to mention it.
His own value, the previous assassination attempt, and the sudden rise of the White Tiger—these were likely to have caught the attention of the Divine Dragon long ago.
Therefore, thinking about it this way, the appearance of these two individuals was not only natural but also within reason.
With this realization, Su Ping immediately relaxed.
This meant that everything he had just done, regardless of how the Legend of the Divine Dragon viewed it, was at least not opposed.
This was the first time he had made a decision at the strategic crossroads of a nation, and he did it on his own accord.
Even he himself didn't know if he had made the right choice.
Even he would have doubts, wondering if his ideas were incorrect or if there was something he hadn't considered.
However, the appearance of this individual was enough to prove that his choice was not wrong.
This person acknowledged him.
And acknowledged his decision.
After the Legend of the Divine Dragon appeared, everything had a backer to rely on.
Unconsciously, Su Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
Subsequently, he turned his gaze towards the figure in the venue.
There were many things that even a golden finger couldn't accomplish.
Being a leader wasn't something one was born with.
Especially for a leader like the Legend of the Divine Dragon standing before him.
There was still much he needed to learn.
Edmond Golden wasn't surprised by the appearance and arrival of this individual. He merely sighed:
"Your Highness, if not for your existence, the Eagle Nation would have completely dominated the entire Blue Star!"
The man merely chuckled:
"Without me, there would be others. Moreover, in my opinion, you are who you are, and you have little to do with the Eagle Nation.
From a certain perspective, you are more dangerous and threatening than the old eagle of the Eagle Nation!"
Edmond was startled, then felt honored:
"Is that so? To receive such an evaluation from you is a blessing for three lifetimes! Since that's the case, why doesn't the Divine Dragon consider the establishment of Golden Heart? There are only benefits and no drawbacks, right?"
"Edmond, in this world, there is no such thing as having only benefits and no drawbacks. If there were, no one would tell others about it, right?"
The Legend of the Divine Dragon asked in response.
As expected, Edmond narrowed his eyes but couldn't say much more or find the right words to express himself.
The purpose of Golden Heart, the true nature of Golden Heart, was something that no one could understand better than its true founder and creator.
This was beyond doubt.
Therefore, facing the counterquestion from the Legend of the Divine Dragon, he had no room for rebuttal or excuses.
A disdainful smile appeared on the Legend of the Divine Dragon's lips.
He didn't pay attention to the Golden Patriarch but instead looked up at the so-called Golden Heart above.
There, like a beating heart, it pulsed continuously. He narrowed his eyes, but after some thought, he ultimately didn't take action. Instead, he revealed a look of interest.
At this moment, both parties seemed to fall into silence.
The entire venue was deathly quiet.
No one dared to make a sound in this scene.
However, in the end, the Golden Patriarch sighed:
"If that's how the Divine Dragon feels, then I can't say anything more. But it seems that Golden Heart's branch has nothing to do with the Dragon Kingdom, right?"
In the Cherry Land, you think you can interfere here?"
The Legend of the Divine Dragon narrowed his eyes slightly, "Since ancient times, this small island has been a vassal state to my Dragon Country. After the Mechanical Revolution, although the Dragon Country weakened for a while, this is still an undeniable fact!"
"As a vassal state, why can't I interfere?" Edmond asked, a hint of anger in his voice. "Saint Dragon, the Cherry Island Country has its own independent government!"
"Independent?" The Legend of the Divine Dragon let out a cold laugh, not saying much more. But this disdainful laughter was enough to reveal his true thoughts.
Below, Yoshino Haruki and the others had dark expressions, but they didn't dare to interrupt at this moment.
In this extraordinary era, having sufficient personal strength was indeed the greatest asset.
And it was clear that they didn't have such capital.
So, on this issue, they didn't even have room for rebuttal.
And if they were truly independent, they would never have a Legend-tier combat power.
In the end, whether it was the Dragon Country or the Eagle Nation across the ocean, neither would allow them to have a dominant Legend-tier combat power.
This was a mutual understanding between the two sides.
Bringing this up now didn't seem to have much significance.
So, the Legend of the Divine Dragon waved his hand, "Enough. If you're truly sincere, come to Dragon City personally and explain things to me. Only then will I believe you have some sincerity. As for the rest of the time, especially regarding your so-called Golden Heart's branch here, forget about it!"
"Those who secretly joined your Golden Heart in the Eastern Continent can be ignored, but if you want to create another Soul Summoning here..."
His terrifying mental force erupted, and in that instant, the clouds above Cherry Capital seemed to be pierced and shattered by a beam of aurora.
For three seconds, the entire Cherry Capital, with its millions of people, seemed to freeze.
This terrifying burst of mental force left Edmond's face pale, and he looked at the figure in disbelief.
Just how powerful was this man?
If possible, had he already gained the strength to challenge all Legend-tier combat powers?
Edmond didn't know.
But from this brief encounter, he already felt that the other's mental force had improved.
Or perhaps, it was inevitable.
Because before, he had heard the old guy in the parliament mention this problem—the uncontrollable nature of his words.
And now, it seemed that this problem had been solved.
This meant that he had completely controlled that vast mental force.
At this moment, his terrifying power was no different from that of his pet beast.
This direct show of force left everyone in the room feeling hopeless, and they lowered their heads in despair.
The Golden Patriarch finally sighed and said in a low voice, "I understand."
There was no further argument, no bargaining.
In this region of the Eastern Continent, this man was the real deal.
With the two Legend-tier figures in the Eagle Nation not seeing eye to eye, it was impossible for them to join forces against him.
And even if they did, it was uncertain if they would have a chance of winning.
Unless they could get the Lion Country to join...
At this thought, a glimmer flashed in Edmond's eyes. "Since it's like this, I'll take my leave. When I have time, I'll personally visit the Dragon Country and go to Dragon City to discuss things with you!"
His figure disappeared without a trace, just as mysteriously as he had appeared, leaving no one able to see clearly.
Everyone in the room lowered their heads.
The Legend of the Divine Dragon casually glanced around, then looked at Su Ping with a faint smile. His calm gaze then shifted to the people at the same table.
Especially the members of the Golden Union, including Shen Qiu, who had deep and meaningful gazes.
But it was clear that with his status, it wasn't worth it for him to take action here, and these people weren't worthy of his attention. So, he simply said, "Su Ping, don't forget about the Silver Department. I'll take my leave now."
His figure also disappeared.
This neighboring Cherry Land was like his backyard, with no hindrance at all.
However, what left everyone speechless was that as he left, the giant White Tiger transformed back into the obedient Maneki-neko and returned to Su Ping's shoulder.
Not to mention that mysterious Unknown Legend-tier existence who had always been so casual and carefree.
Unfortunately, some people in the room didn't have the luxury of pondering such matters.
Take Shenqiu, for instance. His face was deathly pale, and his hands and feet trembled uncontrollably. His eyes darted around, but in this public setting, he couldn't find any other options.
In this situation, he seemed to have no way out. Even the attention of this person left no room for negotiation. If they, as insignificant ants under the lamp, did something slightly out of line, they might have a chance to save themselves with a flimsy excuse since there were no explicit regulations in the country.
But now that this person had taken notice, it was more effective than any legal clause. Especially the words spoken in front of such an audience.
After this, not only would rumors spread, but it might even make the news.
Once that happened, the Moutain and River Group and his family, the Shen family, with their deep roots in Shandong Province, would be utterly destroyed like a chicken under a tile.
But what could he do?
His gaze lifted, pleading as he looked at Su Ping. The former assistant of Dong Muyun, the rising star among breeders.
At this moment, Su Ping also looked at him with a faint smile. His gaze was calm, but the coldness in his eyes made Shenqiu tremble involuntarily.
Finally, Su Ping spoke:
"Vice President Shen, you're quite something. The gift of apology from your little assistant to me is a Holy Spirit-tier resource!"
Shenqiu wanted to explain that the Imaginary Stone wasn't for him, but for Miss Dong, and had nothing to do with him. But at this moment, he couldn't bring himself to say those words.
Instead, he managed a smile that was even more miserable than crying.
Su Ping didn't give him a chance to argue and continued calmly, "I wonder, is this yours, or did someone else give it to you?"
With these words, Shenqiu's face turned even more unsightly.
As Su Ping said, the Moutain and River Group was indeed wealthy. But Holy Spirit-tier resources weren't easy to come by, and his channels were limited to auctions like the one in the Ten Thousand Islands.
Even then, the price was beyond what the Moutain and River Group could casually afford.
And even if he had it, he wouldn't normally carry it around casually.
So, Su Ping's suspicion was correct.
The president who had accompanied them here had given it to him!
To ensure that Pingyun could smoothly join the Golden Core's meeting.
But unfortunately, this well-laid plan didn't work out.
And at this moment, Su Ping's intention became even clearer.
Who, in such a situation in Dragon Country, had established the Golden Union, which was deeply connected to the Golden Core?
That person must be the traitor.
And Shenqiu and the others, who were deeply connected to him, couldn't escape either.
Suddenly, someone knelt down right there in front of the crowd.
No one was a fool, and soon, someone understood the situation and realized that this was a matter of life and death.
"Breeder Su, no, President Su, I have nothing to do with the Golden Core. I joined the Golden Union because I was deceived. I'll quit right now!"
This person from Minyue Province was indeed one of those who joined for personal gain.
Su Ping didn't bother to pay attention to them and continued to look at Shenqiu:
"Vice President Shen, you know I'm just curious about another question. Who is the president of the Golden Union?"
Struggle flashed in Shenqiu's eyes. He wanted to refuse, but he knew that refusal meant death.
And the lives of his entire family.
But if he spoke up now...
Before he could struggle for too long, a voice, ancient and hoarse, sounded from not too far away:
"Vice President Su, don't push him."
Su Ping's gaze shifted, and the main person of this trip finally appeared.
Amidst this chaos, it was time to find some clarity.
